habeus corpus

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

Literally `you must have the body'. A writ of habeus corpus is issued by a judge in chambers, and requires that a person who is detaining another present the detainee in court. This writ is usually obtained to compel the police to justify the continued detention of a suspect (see: PowerOfArrest).
